  • Patent number: 9652630
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a network interface and a processor communicatively coupled to the network interface. The network interface communicates with a database comprising a plurality of columns and a plurality of views. Each view is associated with at least one column of the plurality of columns. The processor receives a request to determine one or more noncompliant views of the database. For each view and each column associated with the view, the processor determines whether the column is associated with a privacy indicator that indicates that the column should be masked and whether the view masks the column. The processor then determines that the view is noncompliant if the view does not mask at least one column that should be masked, and generates a report that indicates whether each view of the database is noncompliant. The network interface communicates the report.
